I may go and have that done Tuesday. The really question is though, is if he will actually change the tune or just plug his computer in and act like he did something? He seems to be the type that would do that. I've heard of another local Ls tuner that is "good" may give him a try.

I go to Brett at XP Racing here in Oklahoma city. He uses HP tuners. I'm not really too fond of his tuning anyways, believe it or not my truck ran better on the Diablosport can tune than his dynotune. Also where can I find a new ECU for my truck? I believe that may be the cause of the problem.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Knock Sensor (KS) system detects engine pre-detonation. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retards the spark timing based on the signals from the knock sensors. The knock sensors produce an AC voltage when specific frequencies are detected. The knock sensor voltages are an input to the PCM. The amount of AC voltage produced is proportional to the intensity of the knock.
An operating engine produces a normal amount of engine mechanical vibration. The knock sensors produce an AC voltage signal from this noise. When an engine operates, the PCM learns the minimum and maximum frequency of the noise that the engine produces. When the PCM determines that this frequency is less than or more than the expected amount, a knock sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The engine speed is between 1,500 RPM and 3,000 RPM .
The MAP is less than 44 kpa .
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is more than 60°C (140°F) .
The throttle angle is more than 0.5 percent .
The engine run time is more than 20 seconds .
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM determines that this frequency is less than or more than the expected amount for less than 3 seconds .
